Question antivirus: antivirus continually get better the oldest threats?
I was just curious to know if the thread time to antivirus go continually better against old threats? For example getting better to detect the oldest threats.
Thank you.
Hello
Yes but also threats morph or become new threats. Its a constant game
"who is 1.
Better to have a good protection plan and be prepared in advance to deal with any attack.
Here's what I use and recommend, although there are other good programs. Next message
will be on how to make to check for malware and it's a good idea to be prepared in advance.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's what I use and recommend:
Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.
Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leaving Standard, Web, and
Operation of the network.
Prevx - Home - free
Windows Firewall
Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)
Protected IE - mode
IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)
I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
(It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
right of IE)
Two versions of Avast are available 5.x and 4.8 x
Avast - home - free - 5.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
disabled - click OK
http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download
Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
Finish those you don't use).
http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4
Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/
Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast
Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
or use Google to see how to remove.
http://www.prevx.com/ <-->-->
http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp <-->-->
PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp
Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
(not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.
I hope this helps.

Hello
I put t know why you have software problem with the Vista OS preinstalled but my Toshiba tools and utilities work fine! Once the control buttons stopped working, but I could fix it reinstall the VAP.
Back to your question:
Yes, you can get all the Win 7 drivers and tools for the L500 series. Why not?
If you would take a glance on the Toshiba page you would find all the stuff for download! -
I reinstalled the air combat Simulator 3 but he can't play. He gets at the beginning and then freezes. I've got shield deluxe antivirus 2009. He has not done this with the 2008 deluxe version of shield. Yet, I can play any other game.
Hi gullo56,
Welcome to Microsoft Answers Community Forums.
To help you better I would ask,
a. If it functioned very well under Windows 7 before?
· I suggest you to disable your firewall security software and check if you are able to play the game.
From the link below, what I discovered is Microsoft Flight Simulator 3 is not completely compatible with Windows 7, but I would suggest that you follow the steps below to help troubleshoot your problem.
1. as Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator 3 is supported by Microsoft Windows Vista to function normally, I suggest you run this program in Vista compatibility mode in Microsoft Windows 7.
For information about how to run a program in an earlier version of Windows, visit the link below,
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows
2. you can also try to reduce the hardware acceleration and check if it solves your problem,
1. Click Start-> Control Panel-> appearance and personalization.
2. under customization, click on adjust the screen resolution.
3. in the display settings dialog box, click the Advanced Settings button.
4. in the monitor Properties dialog box, click the Troubleshooting tab.
5. click on the change settings button.
6. in the Security dialog box, click on continue.
7 move the hardware acceleration slider to none to reduce or turn off video hardware acceleration.
8. click on OK.
9. restart Windows.
Hope this information helped you.
Kind regards

When I connect Betfair site bet, I cant get onto the Exchange to make a lay bet, once I have loged in. Betfair people contact you about what is not their fault.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).
- Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode without failure.

You will need to talk with the security of the accounts to AppleCare. Be sure to have your ID ready PW and Apple because you need sigun in Id.apple.com to generate a temp support PIN, then be able to provide one more piece of the verification of identity, they can reset your questions for you.

Windows 7
Photosmart 6520
How can I get to the screen to insert the DNS settings? Wireless network printer continues to fall.
The screen to manually set the DNS and IP parameters is in the SAP, or shipped to the printer Web server. To access this page, it will take the IP address of the printer. This information is found by pressing the icon on the front of the Photosmart 6520 wireless.
Once again, we have the IP address, and then they could type this information in the address bar of their favorite browser.
On another thread, you have mentioned the difficulties getting to the Web integrated printer server. It is possible that the printer has a valid IP address, but still has no "communication" with the router. Have you tried to enter the menu of the 6520 wireless and default network selection. After having done that, then we can re - run the Wireless Setup Wizard in the wireless menu to reconnect the printer to the network.
With this new valid IP address, you can access SAP of the printer? In addition, make sure that the printer and the PC are connected to the same network access point. Let me know how it goes.

Antivirus keeps freezing of the OS until it finishes the scan
I have a Compaq Presario C751NR Notebook and the antivirus keeps freezing of the Vista x 86 operating system and finally it goes to the blue screen. This happens whenever the antivirus analysis reached this path or string.
c:\windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft-Windows-p... structure.resources_31bf3856ad364e35_6.0.6000.16386_en_us_62e599a3b... \peri.dat
I tried to flush caches of Temp and Java. I did a sfc scan and the cleaner.and registry CCcleaner that he always keeps freezing upwards. Only, it freezes when I run the antivirus. I ran three different types of antivirus and all three antivirus programs freeze the OS every time to the path or string.
c:\windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft-Windows-p... structure.resources_31bf3856ad364e35_6.0.6000.16386_en_us_62e599a3b... \peri.dat.
In addition, earlier, I had a nasty Trojan horse called Trojan.Agent/Gen-FraudPack, which I got rid of by safe mode and running the antivirus. Around the same time, Vista did an update of windows, and I'm afraid that if I do a system restore I will reintroduce the nasty Trojan.Agent/Gen-FraudPack. I don't know what else to do. Help, please! Thank you
Sorry, I took a lot of time answering but I just reinstall the operating system. I accidentally started reformatting install my OS while looking for the check disk on the recovery disk and it erased my Boot Manager and I was force to a cleaning. Sorry about that

Action Center keeps telling me that Bullguard firewall or antivirus AI swiched off the power.
Action Center keeps telling me that Bullguard firewall or antivirus AI swiched off the power. I check bullguard and everything is ok. What is going on?
Dear rt00
Please note that when you start your computer, it loads first your operating system (Windows), then other applications that are set to run at startup. Depending on the amount of RAM that your machine and also on the number of programs that need to be loaded, this process can take a long time to complete.Because at the start of Windows Security Center modules of BullGuard are still waiting for Windows to load them (through the svchost process), it signals that you are not protected. This warning should fade after a few minutes.If this isn't the case, I recommend that you contact us at http://www.BullGuard.com .Best regardsBullGuard support team -
